Template:Escape template list/doc

Usage

These templates are used to escape special character sequences, so that they are interpreted later than they would otherwise be. They are most useful when trying to include tables within other tables or templates.

For example, to include a table within another table:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
|+ style="font-size: 105%;" | Caption text
|-
! Header text !! Header text
|-
| Example 1 || Example 2
|-
| Example 3 || Example 4
|-
| colspan="2" |
{{(!}} class{{=}}"wikitable" style{{=}}"text-align: center;"
{{!+}} style{{=}}"font-size: 105%;" {{!}} Caption text
{{!-}}
! Header text !! Header text
{{!-}}
{{!}} Example 5 {{!!}} Example 6
{{!-}}
{{!}} Example 7 {{!!}} Example 8
{{!)}}
|}

gives:

Caption text

Header text	Header text
Example 1	Example 2
Example 3	Example 4
Caption text Header text Header text Example 5 Example 6 Example 7 Example 8
